If the accident's been reported it's on your driving record and your premium goes up. You do (probably) have the right to pick your own shop, but the insurance company will play hardball and try to convince you to use theirs. Remember that they use the lowest bidder and the quality of the work can reflect that. Make sure you pick a guy you trust to do the work properly and you'll be fine.
